More Musings From An Idiot (Courtesy Of Private Eye)
'Of all the sensations of joy and release that Nature in her kindness has bestowed on the human race, there is little or nothing to beat the moment when you get rid of the baby’s car seat. It beats getting off a long-haul flight. It beats getting off a pair of ill-fitting ski-boots after a hard day on the slopes. It verges, frankly, on the orgasmic. As you take the wretched thing to Oxfam, you thank your stars that never again will you have to grapple with that incomprehensible buckle. Never again will you stand sweating over your baby as it screams and writhes and sticks yoghurt in your ear.’

I don't know if this was part of the same article in the Telegraph but he also wrote the following about the booster seats.
"If people decide that they are not going to comply with this crack-brained law, and they are not going to buy a banquette booster-seat for an 11-year-old, then they will have my complete sympathy. If the overworked police of this country decide they have better things to do than flag motorists down and measure their children to see whether or not they are more than 4ft 5in, then they will have my full support.
If they decide that they are not going to waste their precious time fining parents up to £500 for driving a 134cm 11-year-old without a booster seat then they will, in my view, be exercising robust common sense."
It was introduced following an EU Directive but as far as I'm aware, the legislation (or the legal requirement, if under subsequent legislation) is in effect still.

can Boris lovers please bear in mind that Boris did have a Boris the Bonker phase - perhaps even now -
and was a star in the Sextator scandal
( the upright ( hem hem ) and staid Spectator ( aka speccie) had a sex-party-sex side which involved Boris ( along with his pudding basin haircut) and kept us convulsed for months
yeah and whilst I am "at it"
It is Mayor Cuomo's last day in office in New York, having resigned over harassment ( smoochie smoochie stuff he didnt deny). His parting words:
I feel I have reached the bottom
